Abstract (en)
Disclosed is a process for producing a semiconductor device, which comprises: depositing an insulator film on one major surface of a semiconductor substrate; and etching said insulator film using a narrow gap system single wafer processing type dry etcher having an electrode-to-electrode distance of 15 mm or less, while the substrate temperature is maintained at 60 DEG C or less. Very fine and deep contact holes having an aspect ratio of more than 1 can be formed in fabricating a multilayer interconnection structure semiconductor device. A 1 <0>m thick silicon oxide film is allowed to grow as an insulator film 2 by CVD process on a silicon substrate 1, followed by reactive dry etching after masking with a photoresist 3. In this process, 30 sccm of CF<8>, 30 sccm of CHF<7> and 120 sccm of Ar are introduced to the reaction chamber in which the electrode-to-electrode distance is set to a narrow gap of 10 mm, and the total pressure is controlled to 300 mtorr. By carrying out the dry etching, while a high frequency is applied at a power density of 5W/cm<2> across the electrodes in the reaction chamber and the temperature of the silicon substrate 1 is controlled to 55 DEG C, a contact hole having a taper angle controlled to 75 DEG can be formed with a protective film 4 formed on the side wall thereof. <IMAGE>
